“Jens Jensen: Landscapes for People” at The Morton Arboretum June 21, 2012

Walk through the life of Jens Jensen. “Jens Jensen: Landscapes for People” takes you through a journey of Jensen’s landscape drawings, archival photographs and current photographs to introduce you to the wonderful philosophies and landscape style of Jens Jensen. This exhibit focuses on his 1939 book Siftings as an example of his naturalistic, prairie-inspired style of landscape design. As a major figure in American landscape architecture, Jensen always centered his designs around the people. Aesthetically beautiful, but always an expression of the social impact of the land. All ages. Free with Arboretum admission. Sterling Morton Library.
